No matter how big or small, we’re happy to provide you with portable recycling collection bins for your next event! Besides the cost of the bags, there will be NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE as long as the bins are returned clean and on time and the Post Event Form/Photos are submitted in a timely manner. The credit card will be charged $55 per bin damaged or not returned. The ClearStream recycling containers require a special sized liner, which is 40″ x 45″. We recommend a clear bag, so they are easily recognized as a recycling container and not a trash can! We will provide you one free liner per bin you borrow. Each additional liner after that will cost $1.00 each. There is a small Usage Fee to borrow the bins, however, this fee is waived if the Post Event Form/ Photosare submitted within 1 month following your event.
Credit card information is REQUIRED to borrow the recycle bins. The credit card will be used to cover the cost of the bags and as a deposit for the use of the bin(s). CGI does not have the resources to clean the containers! Please help us make sure the bins are ready for the next group by wiping them down before returning. A $25 fee will be charged for bins that come back too dirty/sticky to loan out again! To ensure that we can accommodate everyone’s request this year, a $10 late fee will be charged each week the bins are not returned after the “Return Date.” Credit Card information and an Authorized Signature will be required when you pick up the bins.
